She weighed in at 17.5lbs with 1.2lbs of accessories, so I estimate her to weigh 16.3lbs. I know I can easily lose 220g by swapping the Ksyriums for Soul S2.0s, but I want to keep all the major components "as is". I was looking for weight savings in the cassette, chain and skewers.

My recommendations: swap seatpost for 27.2 x 240 Thomson Masterpiece would save 55g and swap saddle for Selle SLR would save another 60g. Mavic skewers are also pretty heavy so you could save another 50g there easy

That's what's going to make it so difficult for me. I love just about everything that's on it now. The Fizik post (once cut) shoudl come in below the Thompson's weight of 160-190g.I think the cassette will yield the biggest savings so far.

I know you really like you bars, stem and tape, but there is a lot of weight you can save there.

The Bonty stem is listed at 149 grams, but it's probably another 10 to 20 grams above that. A Ritchey WCS stem will come in about 120 grams and cost a third of the Bontrager Stem.

FSA is notorious for low-balling its weights. That bar is probably close to 280 to 290 grams. A Ritchey WCS aluminum bar will come in around 230 and the Carbon Evolution SL, which will have a shape that I think you would like, comes in around 190.

Easton also has some nice carbon bars with flat surfaces that come in about 50 grams lighter than the K-wing.

Am looking to drop mine down below the 16 mark as well, so this thread is relevant to my interests

Thanks.

Now, I'm looking into chainrings for two reasons: Lighter weight and aesthetics. If I can go lighter and get something in black, that would be a very nice upgrade.The Ultegra SL arms are okay. The DA 7800 Rings stick out against the frame.

Lost a skewer nut while transporting my bike, so it was the perfect excuse to get new skewers. Pulled off my 146g OEM skewers and replaced them with 45g KCNC's. Black of course. 100g's gone the easy way.
